This little tablerunner is for a friend with a beautiful brown bamboo floor.

The Sultry line from basic grey just reminded me of her house. It's also hard to be obsessed with Avocados when you live in Idaho. But I found a great batch at Sam's Club and my bowels will never be the same again. I could eat them like an apple and have been doing so, hence the problem as noted above.

I was going to do a WHOLE post on avocados but decided I could kill two birds with one stone (although, I don't even LIKE that analogy. Who would kill birds?? Not me!) AND save you the pain of THAT conversation, me and avocados. And please don't hate me because I don't iron my table cloths. I have better things to do, like eat avocados. I'm so happy that I've ventured out of my comfort zone. My machine quilting prowess has consisted of Loopy-Loo's for quite sometime now. I have now graduated to some scrolliness. I'm very pleased. More avocados. I was going to cut one in half because that would have been soooo pretty. But again, because I tend to overdo my passions........I just couldn't bring myself to look at another avocado pit.

Sweet runner there Des. Your quilting looks super. I snagged a charm pack of Sultry here locally..wonder if I'll ever actually use it? I wonder if you're really up this late, or if you're organized enough to pre-program posts in advance?;-)

Mmmmm, I loves me some avocado and I looooove that runner too! Sorry about your bowels. Just be sure you're stocked up on bowel towels next time you stock up on avocados. (Always good advice in my opinion) I was hungry for guacamole, but now I'm not so sure.

That is one sweet table runner! I ADORE that Sultry fabric. However,I do not adore avacados. No thank you. And good for you on exploring your inner machine quilting goddess. Very, very nice. I'm envious. You do beautiful work. Oh and my word verification is dessess. :)

The runner is beautiful! I like your new scrolly quilting too. Is this just charms so together or have they been cut down in size? I love avocados, in fact I just said to dh wouldn't it be great if we could have an avocado tree in our backyard (yeah right, in north Idaho!). My niece in law's parents have a HUGE one in their backyard - southern CA though.

I love the pretty table runner! Thanks for the quick shipping of the vintage baby quilt in red and aqua. I love it and look forward to making it soon! Keep up the good work.....and watch out for the avocados!

Alas, I am the lucky friend. And I love love love it. Having that beautiful table runner on my normally neglected dinner table has spurned me to clean and polish my dining room so that it more closely matches the grandeur of the runner. In short, it is way cute. And I love my friend Des. And the chocolate ricrac matches my dark bamboo floor like a dream.
